I did it just yesterday on a vanilla Intel 845 board with a couple of 400gig seagates. Cheers, C
I have done Raid5 and Raid0 without any problems using DiskDruid. jer Gerald Waugh wrote:> How can I use fdisk to partition when installing CentOS4 > instead of using 'auto' or disk-druid > I want to make RAID 'fd' type partitions for hda and hdc > > I tried every ctrl-alt Fx and can't get to a shell > > TIA > Gerald > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- Windows has detected that your mouse has moved, please wait while Windows reboots for your changes to take effect.
